In one example, the relative X-axis angle may be determined according toEquation 10, for example, based on an X-axis projection of thereflection vector, and/or a relative Y-axis angle may be determinedaccording to Equation 10, for example, based on a Y-axis projection ofthe reflection vector.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the relative angle θ may be used as acorrection factor to correct one or more optical parameters of the lens,for example, by analyzing an aberration created from a tilt of the lens,e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 may be configured todetermine a correction factor for measured optical parameters of thelens, for example, by analyzing the aberration created from a tilt ofthe lens based on the reflections of the flash on the back surface ofthe lens and/or on a front surface of the lens, e.g., as describedbelow.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the correction factor may be set, forexample, for an estimated spherical power, an estimated cylindricalpower and/or an estimated cylindrical axis of the lens, e.g., tocompensate for a tilt of the lens.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 may determine a powercorrection, denoted F_(NEWSPH), to correct an estimated spherical power,denoted F_(SPH), for example, based on the relative angle θ, e.g., asfollows:

$\begin{matrix}{F_{NEWSPH} = {\left( {1 + \frac{\sin^{2}\theta}{2n}} \right)F_{SPH}}} & (11)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 may determine acylinder correction, denoted C_(INDCYL), to correct an estimatedcylindrical power, for example, based on the relative angle θ and thepower correction, e.g., as follows:

C _(INDCYL) =F _(NEWSPH)·tan²θ  (12)

Reference is made to FIGS. 5A and 5B, which depict a first image 530 anda second image 550 of eyeglasses, in accordance with some demonstrativeembodiments.

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, image530 and image 550 may include a front reflection 502 and a backreflection 504 of a flash on a right lens 510 of eyeglasses, and a frontreflection 506 and a back reflection 508 of the flash on a left lens 520of the eyeglasses.

In some demonstrative embodiments, two reflections on a lens, e.g.,reflections 502 and 504 on lens 510, may indicate an angle generatedbetween an optical axis of the lens and a camera, which captured theimage.

In some demonstrative embodiments, when the two reflections are visiblebut do not coincide, a distance, horizontally and/or vertically, betweena front reflection and a back reflection may be utilized, for example,to estimate a tilt angle of the lens from an optical axis of the lens,e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, additional information, e.g., a lenspower, a cylinder power and/or a cylindrical axis, may be used, forexample, to analyze the lens tilt with higher precision.

In one example, for a given or calculated approximate power of a lens,device 102 (FIG. 1) may be configured to determine a radius of curvatureof the lens, e.g., as described below.

In another example, for a given or calculated radius of the lens and thedistance of the lens from the camera, application 160 (FIG. 1) may beconfigured to determine an optical axis of the lens, for example, basedon a displacement between the two reflections, e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 (FIG. 1) may beconfigured to determine a spherical power, a cylindrical power, and/or acylindrical axis of the lens, e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 (FIG. 1) may beconfigured to determine the cylindrical power, the cylindrical angleand/or the spherical power of the lens, for example, based on the tworeflections, e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, diameters of the front reflection andthe back reflection may be used, for example, to measure the front andback radii of the front and back surfaces, respectively.

For example, for a given or a calculated distance of the camera from thelens and given that the lens surface acts as a mirror, application 160(FIG. 1) may be configured to determine the radius of the mirror or lenssurface, for example, by estimating a magnification of an imagedreflection of the flash.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 (FIG. 1) may beconfigured to determine the power of the lens, for example, based onpositions of the reflections.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 (FIG. 1) may beconfigured to determine the power of the lens for a given tilt angle ofthe eyeglasses, for example, based on the positions of the reflections.

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5B, a verticaldisplacement of the front reflection 502 from the back reflection 504 ofleft lens 510, may indicate that the tilt of the lens 510 is around thehorizontal axis.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 (FIG. 1) may beconfigured to determine the tilt angle of the lens for a given orcalculated lens power, for example, based on the positions of thereflections.

In some demonstrative embodiments, sizes of the two reflections may bedirectly related to the radii of the front and back lens surfaces.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the reflections may defer by adiameter size of the reflection, which may indicate a difference betweenthe front surface and the back surface radiuses of curvature of thelens.

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5A, a differencebetween the front reflection 502 and the back reflection 504 on leftlens 510 may result, for example, from a difference between a radii ofthe front surface and a radii of the back surface.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 (FIG. 1) may beconfigured to determine the lens power, for example, based on relativespot sizes of the two reflections.

In some demonstrative embodiments, device 102 may be configured todetermine an optical axis of the lens, for example, based on the tworeflections, e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, a point in which the front reflectionand the back reflection from the flash coincide may mark the opticalaxis of the lens, e.g., as described below.

In one example, an on axis object may always be imaged on the opticalaxis of the lens, therefore no matter what different radius ofcurvatures the front surface and the back surface of the lens have, bothimages of the reflections may overlap, e.g., since both reflections areimaged on the optical axis.

Reference is made to FIG. 6, which depicts an image of a frontreflection 602 and a back reflection 604 of a flash on a right lens 610of eyeglasses, and a front reflection 606 and a back reflection 608 ofthe flash on a left lens 620 of the eyeglasses, in accordance with somedemonstrative embodiments.

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the frontreflection 602 and the back reflection 604 on the left lens 620 maycoincide.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the coinciding of reflections 602 and604 may indicate that the lens plane of lens 610 and the camera planeare parallel.

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the frontreflection 606 and the back reflection 608 on the right lens 620 almostcoincide, and may indicate a minor angle between the lens plane of lens620 and the camera plane.

Reference is made to FIG. 7, which schematically illustrates areflection scheme 700, in accordance with some demonstrativeembodiments.

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, two imagedreflections 720 of a flash, e.g., a first reflection 701 from a frontsurface 708 of a lens 710 and a second reflection 702 from a backsurface 706 of lens 710, may be captured by a camera sensor 718 of acamera.

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, imagedreflections 720 may not coincide, for example, if the camera is tiltedfrom the optical axis 716 of the lens.

In some demonstrative embodiments, for example, if the lens 710 islocated far enough from the camera, and the flash 722 is close enough tothe lens 710, both reflections 701 and 702 may be imaged on the opticalaxis of the lens and may coincide, e.g., once the lens surface isperpendicular to the device.

Referring back to FIG. 1, in some demonstrative embodiments, application160 may be configured to determine a pupillary distance of theeyeglasses, for example, based on the reflections.

In some demonstrative embodiments, a user of device 102 may beinstructed to perform one or more operations including holding theglasses still, and aiming the flash separately to each lens of theglasses, for example, to enable application 160 to determine thepupillary distance of the eyeglasses.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 may be configured torecord a first position within a first lens of eyeglasses where bothreflections coincide or are calculated to coincide. For example, thefirst position may be recorded relative to a fixed point within theeyeglasses frame.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 may be configured torecord a second position within a second lens of the eyeglasses whereboth reflections coincide or are calculated to coincide. For example,the second position may be recorded relative to the fixed point withinthe eyeglasses frame.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 may be configured todetermine a relative distance between the first position and the secondposition, which may be set as the pupillary distance parameter of theeyeglasses.

As indicated at block 808 determining the relative angle between theplane of the lens and the plane of the camera may include determining acenter of the lens and at least one reflection vector from the center ofthe lens to the at least one reflection, and determining the relativeangle based on the center of the lens, and the reflection vector fromthe center of the lens to the at least one reflection. For example,application 160 (FIG. 1) may determine the relative angle θ, forexample, based on lens center 406 and the reflection vectorcorresponding to reflections 401 and/or 402 (FIG. 4), e.g., as describedabove.

In other embodiments, determining the relative angle between the planeof the lens and the plane of the camera may include determining therelative location of a first reflection relative to a location of asecond reflection, and determining the relative angle based on a vectorbetween the first and second reflections. For example, application 160(FIG. 1) may determine the relative angle θ, for example, based onlocations of reflections 401 and/or 402 (FIG. 4), e.g., as describedabove.

As indicated at block 812 the method may include refining the estimatedoptical parameters of the lens based on the relative angle. For example,application 160 (FIG. 1) may determine the spherical power, thecylindrical power and/or the cylindrical axis of the lens, for example,based on the relative angle θ, e.g., according to Equations 11 and/or12, e.g., as described above.

In other embodiments, application 160 may be configured to determine theone or more optical parameters of the lens, for example, based on anyother methods, e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 may be configured todetermine the one or more optical parameters of the lens, for example,based on a first distance (“the camera distance”) between the object andcamera 118 when the image is captured via the lens, and a seconddistance (“the lens distance”) between the object and the lens of theeyeglasses (“the eyeglasses lens”) when the image is capture via thelens.

In some demonstrative embodiments, application 160 may be configured todetermine the one or more optical parameters of the lens, for example,based on the first and second distances, e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the lens distance may be set to be,measured to be, approximated to be, and/or assumed to be, half of thecamera distance, e.g., as described below.

In other embodiments, any other relationship between the first andsecond distances may be set, measured, approximated, and/or assumed,e.g., as described below.

In other embodiments, the first and/or second distances may be setand/or defined based on one or more measurements and/or based on one ormore images captured via the lens, e.g., as described below.

Reference is made to FIG. 9, which schematically illustrates ameasurement scheme 200, in accordance with some demonstrativeembodiments. In one example, one or more elements of FIG. 1 may bearranged and/or operated according to the measurement scheme 200, one ormore parameters may be determined be application 160 (FIG. 1) based onmeasurement scheme 200, and/or one or more measurements may be performedbe one or more elements of FIG. 1 according to measurement scheme 9200,e.g., as described below.

As shown in FIG. 9, measurement scheme 9200 may include a display 9230to display an object, an eyeglasses lens 9210 (“the lens”), a lens 9228(“the camera lens”) of a camera 9218, and/or a sensor 9229 (“the camerasensor”) of the camera 9218. For example, display 9230 may perform thefunctionality of display 130 (FIG. 1), and/or camera 9218 may performthe functionality of camera 118 (FIG. 1).

As shown in FIG. 9, a camera distance, denoted L, may be between display9230 and the camera 9218, e.g., the camera lens 9228; a lens distance,denoted u, may be between the eyeglasses lens 9210 and display 9230;and/or a third distance, denoted v, may be between the camera lens 9228and the camera sensor 9229.

As shown in FIG. 9, the lens 9210 may have a focal length, denoted f₁,and/or the camera lens 9228 may have a focal length, denoted f₂.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the following equations may beapplied, for example, if the lens 9210 includes a negative lens.

In some demonstrative embodiments, positive values for f₁ may be used,for example, if lens 9210 include a negative lens, e.g., as describedbelow.

In some demonstrative embodiments, negative values for f₁, e.g., −f₁,may be used, for example, if lens 9210 includes a positive lens.

In some demonstrative embodiments, according to measurement scheme 9200,one or more relationships may be applied, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{{{\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v}} = \frac{1}{f_{1}}}{v = \frac{f_{1}u}{u - f_{1}}}{{M_{1} \equiv \frac{v}{u}} = \frac{f_{1}}{u - f_{1}}}} & (13)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, sensor 9229 may sense the object onthe display 9230 at a new location, denoted u′, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{u^{\prime} = {\frac{{- f_{1}}u}{u - f_{1}} + \left( {L - u} \right)}} & (14)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, a magnification, denoted M₂, of thecamera lens 9228, may be determined, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{M_{2} = {\frac{f_{2}}{u^{\prime} - f_{2}} = \frac{f_{2}}{{\begin{matrix}{{- f_{1}}u} \\{u - f_{1}}\end{matrix} + \left( {L - u} \right) - f_{2}}\;}}} & (15)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, a total magnification, denoted M_(T),according to the measurement scheme 9200 may be determined, e.g., asfollows:

$\begin{matrix}{M_{T} = {{M_{1}*M_{2}} = {\frac{f_{2}f_{1}}{{{- f_{1}}u} + {\left( {L - u} \right)\left( {u - f_{1}} \right)} - {f_{2}\left( {u - f_{1}} \right)}} = \frac{f_{2}f_{1}}{{Lu} - {Lf}_{1} - u^{2} - {f_{2}\left( {u - f_{1}} \right)}}}}} & (16)\end{matrix}$

wherein M₁ denotes a magnification of the lens 210.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the magnification, denoted M₀, at alocation u=0 may be, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{M_{0} = \frac{f_{2}}{L - f_{2}}} & (17)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, the magnification M₀ may be equal toa magnification without the lens 9210.

In some demonstrative embodiments, a relative magnification, denotedM_(R), may be determined, e.g. as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{M_{R} = {\frac{M_{T}}{M_{0}} = \frac{f_{1}\left( {f_{2} - L} \right)}{{L\left( {u - f_{1}} \right)} - u^{2} + {f_{2}f_{1}} - {f_{2}u}}}} & (18)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, a largest magnification ofmeasurement scheme 9200 may occur at a position, at which the relativemagnification M_(R) satisfies one or more conditions, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{{\frac{dM_{R}}{du} = 0}{\frac{dM_{R}}{du} = {{{- \frac{f_{1}\left( {f_{2} - L} \right)}{\left\lbrack {{L\left( {u - f_{1}} \right)} - u^{2} + {f_{2}f_{1}} - {f_{2}u}} \right\rbrack^{2}}}*\left( {L - {2u} - f_{2}} \right)} = 0}}} & (19)\end{matrix}$

In other embodiments, the largest magnification may occur at a position,denoted u_(ideal) which satisfies, e.g., at least the followingcriterion:

$\begin{matrix}{u_{ideal} = \frac{L - f_{2}}{2}} & (20)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, since L>>f₂ the best position for thelargest magnification may be, e.g., approximately, at a middle betweendisplay 9230 and the camera lens 9228.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the relative magnification M_(R), forexample, at the position u_(ideal), e.g., at the middle between display9230 and the camera lens 9228, may be determined, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{{M_{R}\left( {u = u_{ideal}} \right)} \approx \frac{f_{1}\left( {L - f_{2}} \right)}{{L\left( {{{0.5}L} - f_{1}} \right)} - {0.25L^{2}} + {f_{2}f_{1}} - {{0.5}f_{2}L}}} & (21)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, a spherical power of lens 9210 may beextracted for a given camera distance L, for example, by measuring therelative magnification M_(R), e.g., preferably at the position u_(ideal)peak, or at any other point.

In some demonstrative embodiments, if the lens 9210 has a cylinder, therelative magnification formula, e.g., according to Equation 21, may beapplied to each of the cylinder axes separately.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the distance U between the display9230 and the lens 9210 may be determined, for example, using themagnification formula, e.g., according to Equation 21.

In some demonstrative embodiments, since the maximum magnification isgiven at the middle between display 9230 and lens 9228, capturingseveral images, when the lens 9210 is located at different distancesbetween display 9230 and the camera lens 9228, may enable evaluating themaximum magnification, for example, by fitting, extrapolating orsampling, and/or from a known/calculated/measured camera distance L ofthe camera from the display 9230.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the focal length f₁ of lens 9210 maybe determined, for example, based on the total magnification M_(T),and/or the relative magnification M_(R), e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{{f_{1} = \frac{{Lu} - u^{2} - {f_{2}u}}{{f_{2}/M_{T}} + L - f_{2}}}{or}{f_{1} = \frac{{Lu} - u^{2} - {f_{2}u}}{{f_{2}/M_{R}} - {L/M_{R}} + L - f_{2}}}} & (22)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, a focus of the camera 9218 may befixed, for example, on the distance of the camera to display 9230.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the camera 9218 may focus on display9230 and lock the focus, e.g., before inserting the lens 9210 in frontof camera 9218.

In other embodiments, the focusing on display 9230 may be performed, forexample, after placing the lens 9210, e.g., between display 9230 and thecamera 9218, e.g., by focusing on the parts on display 9230 that do notinclude the frame of the eyeglasses, e.g., including the lens 9210, inthe field of view (FOV) of the camera 9218. For example, imageprocessing techniques may be implemented to determine where in the FOVshould the camera 9218 perform the autofocus (AF).

In another embodiment, the area in the FOV of the camera 9218 to performthe AF may be selected manually, for example, by instructing the user toselect the area in the FOV of the camera 9218, in which the camera mayfocus.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the magnification and the extractionof the focal power of lens 9210 may be determined, for example, byfocusing only on display 9230.

In some demonstrative embodiments, camera 9218 may be focused using theobject on display 9230, for example, without the lens 9210, e.g., asfollows:

$\begin{matrix}{v_{s} = \frac{{Lf}_{2}}{L - f_{2}}} & (23)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, the lens 9210 may form a virtualobject located at the distance u′ from camera lens, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{u^{\prime} = {L - u + \frac{f_{1}u}{f_{1} + u}}} & (24)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, the total magnification M_(T) in thesystem may be determined, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{M_{T} = {{M_{1}M_{2}} = {\frac{f_{1}}{f_{1} + u} \times \frac{\frac{Lf_{2}}{L - f_{2}}}{L - u + \frac{f_{1}u}{f_{1} + u}}}}} & (25)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, the focal length f₁ of the lens 9210may be determined, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{f_{1} = \frac{\left( {L - u} \right)M_{T}u}{\frac{{Lf}_{2}}{L - f_{2}} - {LM}_{T}}} & (26)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, the power, denoted P₁, of the lens9210 may be determined, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{P_{1} = \frac{1}{f_{1}}} & (27)\end{matrix}$

Reference is made to FIG. 10, which schematically illustrates an image9300 of an object 9302 displayed on a display 9330. For example, display9330 may perform the functionality of display 130 (FIG. 1).

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, object 9302 mayinclude a circle.

In some demonstrative embodiments, image 9300 of object 9302 may becaptured by a camera via a lens 9310. For example, camera 118 (FIG. 1)and/or camera 9218 (FIG. 9) may capture object 9302 via lens 9310, e.g.,lens 9210 (FIG. 9).

As shown in FIG. 10, when image 9300 of object 9302 is captured throughlens 9310, lens 9310 may change the magnification of object 9302, e.g.,in a different way for various angles.

As shown in FIG. 10, when an image of object 9302 is captured throughlens 9310, image 9300 may be seen as an ellipsoid.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the camera may be focused to acalibration object 9301, which may be placed outside of the field ofview of lens 9310.

In some demonstrative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 10, lens 9310 maynot affect an image of the calibration object 9301, e.g., sincecalibration object 9301 is placed outside of the FOV of lens 9310.

Reference is made to FIGS. 11A, 11B, and 11C and 11D which schematicallyillustrate four respective relative magnification graphs, in accordancewith some demonstrative embodiments.

In one example, the camera distance L, e.g., between camera 9218 (FIG.9) and display 230 (FIG. 9), may be equal to 50 cm, and the focal lengthf₂, e.g., of lens 228 (FIG. 9), may be equal to 3.7 mm. In otherembodiments, any other distances may be used.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the four graphs of FIGS. 11A, 11B,and 11C and 11D depict the relative magnification as a function of adistance of a lens, e.g., lens 9210 (FIG. 9), from a camera sensor,e.g., sensor 9229 (FIG. 9).

In some demonstrative embodiments, a graph of FIGS. 11A, 11B, and 11Cand 11D depicts a plurality of magnification curves corresponding to aplurality of different lenses.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the plurality of different lenses maycorrespond to a plurality of diopter intervals within a certain range ofdiopters.

For example, a magnification curve may represent a magnification of alens having a specific diopter from the certain range of diopters as afunction of the distance of the lens from the camera.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the plurality of magnification curvesof FIG. 11A may correspond to a plurality of lenses having a lens powerof between 0.25D and 2D, at 0.25 diopter intervals.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the plurality of magnification curvesof FIG. 11B may correspond to a plurality of lenses having a lens powerof between 2D and 4D, at 0.25 diopter intervals.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the plurality of magnification curvesof FIG. 11C may correspond to a plurality of lenses having a lens powerof between −0.25D and −2D, at 0.25 diopter intervals.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the plurality of magnification curvesof FIG. 11D may correspond to a plurality of lenses having a lens powerof between −2D and −4D, at 0.25 diopter intervals.

In other embodiments, any other curves may be used with respect to anyother diopter ranges and/or any other diopter intervals.

In one example, a lens may have a lens power of −4 diopters. Accordingto this example, it may be expected that the lens may have a maximalrelative magnification of 1.5.

In another example, a lens may have a lens power of −4D with a cylinderpower of +0.25D. According to this example, it may be expected that thelens may have a maximal relative magnification of 1.5 at a first axis,and a relative magnification of 1.47 at a second axis.

As shown in FIGS. 11A, 11B, and 11C and 11D, a change of few percent inmagnification may be expected for a lens of 0.25 diopter.

In one example, a centimeter size object on the display 9230 (FIG. 10)may occupy a few hundreds of pixels on the camera sensor. Accordingly, achange of a few percent in a size of the object may result in a changeof a few pixels, which may be traceable.

Referring back to FIG. 1, in some demonstrative embodiments, one or moreprocedures, operations, and/or methods may be performed to measure theone or more optical parameters of the lens, e.g., as described below.

Reference is made to FIG. 22, which schematically illustrates ameasurement scheme 91500, in accordance with some demonstrativeembodiments. For example, one or more operations using of themeasurement scheme 91500 may be performed by a system, e.g., system 100(FIG. 1); a mobile device, e.g., device 102 (FIG. 1); a server, e.g.,server 170 (FIG. 1); a display, e.g., display 130 (FIG. 1); and/or anapplication, e.g., application 160 (FIG. 1).

In some demonstrative embodiments, the camera distance L2, between thedisplay and the device, may be calculated from an object having a knownsize that that may be displayed on display 91530, for example, and oneor more parameters of the camera 91502, e.g., a focal length, a field ofview, and/or a sensor pitch, e.g., as described below.

Referring back to FIG. 1, in some demonstrative embodiments, device 102may perform one or more operations, for example, to calibrate one ormore elements of the frame, e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the frame may be calibrated, forexample, by placing the frame against the display 130 and capturing animage including the frame and the display 130, which may present acalibration object having known sizes.

In some demonstrative embodiments, an auto-detection or a manualdetection of a feature of the frame may be scaled, for example, usingthe calibration object displayed upon the display 130.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the frame may be calibrated, forexample, by placing the frame at a known distance from the display 130,e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, by extending the temple arms of theeyeglasses and placing them against the display 130, the distance of theframe surrounding the lenses from the display 130 may be regarded asabout 145 mm.

In some demonstrative embodiments, a feature of the frame may becalibrated, for example, according to the magnification of the displayedimage of the calibration object, e.g., for the distance of 145 mm, andone or more camera lens properties.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the frame can be calibrated, forexample, using the fact that the maximum magnification occurs, forexample, when the eyeglasses are just in the middle between the display130 and camera 118.

In some demonstrative embodiments, using this fact it may be determinedthat the distance of an actual location of the frame is half a measureddistance between the device 102 and the display 130.

In some demonstrative embodiments, using a known distance converted intoan absolute magnification, where the focal length and sensor pixel pitchare given may be determined, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{h = \frac{h_{pixels}^{\prime}*{pitch}*\left( {L - f} \right)}{2f}} & (31)\end{matrix}$

wherein h′_(pixels) is the amount of pixels that the frame feature isaccommodating on the sensor, pitch is the distance from one pixel to anadjacent pixel, L is the distance between the display and the deviceand/or f is the focal length of the camera.

In some demonstrative embodiments, device 102 may perform one or moreoperations, for example, to calibrate a display size, for example, ofdisplay 130, e.g., as described below.

In some demonstrative embodiments, calibration of the display 130 may beperformed, for example, by capturing an image of an object with a knownsize, placed against the display.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the object with known size may be astandard magnetic card, a CD media, a ruler, a battery (AA, AAA . . . )and/or the like.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the object with known size may be theeyeglasses temple arm length. The arm length is typically 13.5 cm to 15cm. This accuracy may be enough for further estimations.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the temple arm length may be scribedon an arm of the eyeglasses and the length may be used for the displaycalibration.

In some demonstrative embodiments, calibrating the display may includecomparing an object with known dimensions to a displayed feature havinga known amount of pixels.

In some demonstrative embodiments, a scaling factor, denoted scaling,may be determined, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{{scaling} = {\frac{s_{{captured}.{pixels}}}{{ref}_{{captured}.{pixels}}}*{\frac{L_{{absolute}.\dim}}{S_{{displayed}.{pixels}}}\left\lbrack {{mm}\text{/}{pixel}} \right\rbrack}}} & (32)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, a scaling of the display may beapplied to display a feature having absolute size on the display.

In some demonstrative embodiments, calibration of the display may beperformed, for example, by capturing an image of the display 130 at aknown distance, while considering the effective focal length of thecamera lens, and/or the field of view of the lens of the camera or thesensor pitch.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the magnification, denoted M, of animage having a size h of an object of size H, positioned at a cameradistance L from the camera having a focal length f, may be determined,e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{{M \equiv \frac{h}{H}} = \frac{f}{L}} & (33)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, am actual size h of the image on thedevice may be calculated, for example, based on a sensor pitchp[μm/pixel] e.g., as follows:

h=h _(pix) ·p  (34)

wherein h_(pix) is the number of pixels the image span on the device.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the absolute size H of the image onthe display may be determined, e.g., as follows:

$\begin{matrix}{H = \frac{{p \cdot h_{pix}}L}{f}} & (35)\end{matrix}$

In some demonstrative embodiments, once the displayed object withdimension of H has been determined, a scaling to the display can beapplied to display a known absolute size of features on the display.

In another embodiment, the scaling factor may be considered whenevaluating images from the display, without scaling the image beingdisplayed on the display.

For example, a screen having a width of 375 mm may accommodate 1024pixels for this dimension. A calibration object of 100 pixels may bedisplayed on the display and may be captured with a camera. A known sizeobject (“a reference object”) having a dimension of 300 mm may be placedon the display.

In some demonstrative embodiments, an image analysis of an imageincluding the image of the calibration object and the image of thereference object, may show that the reference object accommodates 120pixels and the calibration object accommodates 60 pixels. Accordingly,the scaling factor may be 1.5 mm/pixel.

In some demonstrative embodiments, the image presented on the displaymay be scaled, for example, to match the predetermined known sizeobject.

In one example, in order to display an image having a dimension of 60mm, an image having 40 pixels should be displayed.

In another example, the same amount of pixels on every screen may bedisplayed, and the scaling factor may be considered, for example, whencapturing an image. According to this example, the scaling factor may beconsidered to evaluate the absolute dimension of an object, e.g., thathas been displayed on the display.
